Survey of Autism - Survey Results

Survey Results

These results are dynamically generated and provide a side-by-side view of how autism is seen, as given by all who have taken the surveys. These should not be used for statistical purposes, but as the number of surveys taken grows, the statistics will naturally become more and more accurate. The real purpose of these surveys is to educate, and hopefully correct some of the assumptions about autism that many of us, autistics and neurotypicals alike, may make.
